Global Health Summit: Consultation with civil society on sustainable health security preparedness and response

Abstract

At the Global Health Summit, the G20, invited leaders, heads of international and regional organisations, and representatives of global health bodies, will share lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their goal is to create a ‘Rome Declaration’ including principles which can be a powerful guide for medium to long-term structural change brought about through international cooperation and joint action to prevent future global health crises.

These principles will take into account the views of the scientific community and civil society.

To that end, civil society organisations were invited to contribute to the development of principles by taking part in an online consultation on 20 April 2021.
